As Askan’s condition improved, I concentrated on solving the homework given to me by Varney.

The method of engraving a magical engineering weapon’s locking mechanism was simple. It was to drop the caster’s blood on the magic stone, making it recognize its owner.

Of course, it wasn’t impossible to reset. All it needed was the original owner of the magic engineering weapon or the person who made the weapon.

Staring intently at the magic stone bracelet I was wearing on my wrist, I fell into thought.

‘Was this originally owned by someone? Or am I the first one to engrave it?’

If it was the first engraving, I could drop my blood on the magic stone right now. But if it had an owner, it would definitely selfdestruct the moment the blood of someone who isn’t the owner touched it.

Therefore, I couldn’t risk dropping my blood in a lifethreatening and uncertain situation.

Even though Varney is eccentric, I had a feeling he wouldn’t put my life at risk. The reason he gave me homework wouldn’t be to experiment with my luck in a fiftyfifty chance.

‘What is Master expecting from me?’

I had been studying magical engineering while buried in books.

Especially after receiving homework, I carefully examined the points to be careful when making weapons with magic stones.

As a result, I hadn’t made any weapons myself, but I had already learned how to make magic engineering weapons by selfstudy.

The magic stone bracelet I was wearing looked exquisitely carved on the outside, but inside, invisible to the eye, it was filled with complicated magical formulas.

‘The reason for making a magic stone bracelet out of cheap silver might be because it needs a cool property.’

If my guess is correct, since the color of the magic stone is yellow, the likelihood of a light attribute was high, and if the bracelet was made of cool silver, it would be to maintain energy for as long as possible.

So, I came to one conclusion.

‘It’s likely to be a bracelet with light magic.’

Light, as the name suggests, used the light attribute to shoot bright light.

It was useful in darkness where surroundings were not identified, but also a selfdefense tool that allowed you to escape from dangerous situations by shooting bright light momentarily.

‘I believe my calculation can’t be wrong, but I’m worried I can’t guarantee it a hundred percent.’

Everything was just a guess. I couldn’t be sure unless I dropped my blood and used the light.

Somehow, I thought Varney would have expected me to figure this out.

If I simply ended my homework with hypotheses like now, I might disappoint him.

Yet, I wasn’t reckless enough to drop blood on a bracelet that could possibly selfdestruct, so I had no choice but to worry.

‘I think the only thing Master wants is that.’

In the end, after much consideration, I picked up a device that could disassemble the bracelet.

Although it was a very small machine like an earring, it was used to engrave or dismantle magic formulas when making magic engineering weapons.

Avoiding engraving by dropping blood, there was only one way left.

Only the person who made the weapon can change the owner.

‘He probably wants me to change the owner of this bracelet myself.’

It was a very difficult task for anyone who was not the actual weapon maker.

If, as expected, this bracelet has light magic, it’s not so dangerous magic, so the lock won’t be too strong, but even experts are reluctant to dismantle it in reverse.

But no matter how I thought about it, the only way to know exactly what ability the bracelet had was this.

‘Well, just because it’s not easy doesn’t mean I can’t try and give up.’

I carefully stripped off the surface of the bracelet and looked at the magic formulas inside.

Over time, the bracelet, which was a complete piece of work, was left with only the frame.

With careful hand movements, I began to erase the part responsible for engraving and put in new magic formulas one by one.

At first, I was so nervous that I was sweating like a rain, but fortunately, it seemed to suit me and it started to get a little fun.

That’s when I was focused and lost track of time.

Knock knock, with the sound of knocking on the door, Askan’s voice came in.

“Miss, are you not coming out today either?”

Come to think of it, after checking that Askan’s body condition was okay, I hadn’t taken a step out of this room and had been only engrossed in the bracelet.

I looked at the clock because I had no idea how much time had passed.

The first time I entered this room it was evening, and seeing that it’s still evening now, it seems at least a day has passed.

Before I could answer, Askan’s voice rang out again.

“All the meals left at the door are still untouched. The butler said he would have no choice but to report to the lord if you did not eat again. What will you do?”

At his words, I naturally thought of my father, Orland. I didn’t know what trouble this news could bring.
